[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1624639, member: 44622"] There are recommendations as to how high you should not be at the two hour mark (140) but very little is mentioned about further along in the day. I find that if I track the entire spike as you did then I too take hours for it to come down to the base line. The timing of the spike is because not all foods are absorbed at the same rate. Not even all carbs are absorbed at the same rate and some have a very low GI number. Other items like protein can take even longer. If a meal consists of a variety of items then it is the overall effect of that meal that you will see and not just one simple graph. I see that neither you or your Mother broke through the 140 ceiling so you are both doing well. [/QUOTE]
